BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is one of the histologically predominant characteristics of psoriasis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor-like repeats and discoidin I-like domains 3 (EDIL3) have critical effects on angiogenesis. Both these proteins are vital proangiogenic factors in tumor occurrence and progression; however, the relationship between EDIL3 and VEGF with psoriasis remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to elucidate the role of EDIL3 and VEGF and the involved mechanisms in psoriasis-associated angiogenesis...

Of the human organs, skin is the most visible one that displays the manifestations of ageing. It has a very intricate microanatomical structure and performs several key physiological functions. The pathophysiology of cutaneous ageing is characterized by deterioration of structural stability and functional integrity, implying a continuous reduction in maximal function and reserve capacity, as a result of the accumulating damage due to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Elimination of unfavorable expressions associated with facial and cutaneous ageing is the key patient demand in aesthetic dermatology...

Demodex folliculorum is a common ectoparasite of humans that inhabits follicular infundibulum and sebaceous ducts. Its role in various dermatological diseases is well studied. However, data on demodex-induced skin pigmentation are very limited. A diagnosis of this entity can be easily missed for other causes of facial hyperpigmentation such as melasma, lichen planus pigmentosus, erythema dyschromicum perstans, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and drug-induced hyperpigmentation. Here, we report a case of facial demodicosis-induced skin hyperpigmentation in a 35-year-old Saudi male who is on multiple immunosuppressive agents...
